The shortest possible description of a Christian -- a description with which the New Testament would fully agree -- is that a Christian is a person who can say: "For me Jesus Christ is Lord." Herbert Butterfield's words about facing the future are good: "Hold to Christ, and for the rest be totally uncommitted." Any alleged conversion which does not leave one totally committed solely to Jesus Christ is incomplete and imperfect.

But if we should feel entitled to throw out one part of the witness of Ephesians to Christ, why not the rest of it also: for instance, Christ's Lordship over the church and in the heart? It is unfair and scarcely honest to consider the Bible or parts of it as a cake from which we can pick out merely the raisins we happen to like. Speaking the truth in love and witnessing to the biblical Christ may imply the necessity to speak also of some very strange things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fault is fostered by concealment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51777]]></link><description><![CDATA[A fault is fostered by concealment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With curious art the brain, too finely wrought, Preys on herself, and is destroyed by thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59208]]></link><description><![CDATA[With curious art the brain, too finely wrought, Preys on herself, and is destroyed by thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20376]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hippie is someone who looks like Tarzan, walks like Jane and smells like Cheetah. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19293]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hippie is someone who looks like Tarzan, walks like Jane and smells like Cheetah.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maturity is often more absurd than youth and very frequently is most unjust to youth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26582]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maturity is often more absurd than youth and very frequently is most unjust to youth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A poet is an unhappy being whose heart is torn by secret sufferings, but whose lips are so strangely formed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46814]]></link><description><![CDATA[A poet is an unhappy being whose heart is torn by secret sufferings, but whose lips are so strangely formed that when the sighs and the cries escape them, they sound like beautiful music... and then people crowd about the poet and say to him: "Sing for us soon again;" that is as much as to say, "May new sufferings torment your soul.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's a strong, good-sized kid.
